re: Songs with dark, but profound, lyrics

Couple that I thought of immediately...

Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a-roll

Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Yvette - Jason Isbell

I might not be a man yet,
But your father will never be,
So I load up my Weatherby.
I let out my breath
And I couple with death.
I couple with death.

Saw your father last night in the window the light made a silhouette.
Saw him hold you that way, he won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette.
